DirecTV HRxx and Hxx Thread

[Griffin_NC]

Any luck with this? I've been out of town for a bit so I haven't been able to look at it.

I recently got Directv and wanted to get media streaming working. I already have an XBOX running with Windows Media Center using Media Browser and Shark007 codecs. I also have 2 Popcorn Hour units that I use with YAMJ and they work flawlessly. All of my videos are H264 MKV with AC3 passthrough. I downloaded/installed/configured PS3 Media Server. The only "tweaking" to the initial install I did was designating the folders to stream from. I tested PS3 on my iPhone, iPad, and Popcorn Hour device without any issues. The iPhone and iPad are using AirAV to connect. I simply browsed the directory structure and clicked on the MKV file. From the DirecTV boxes, I have tried every available option and I only get a blank, black screen. I also don't see anything occurring in the transcoding buffer status window. However, it is being picked up as a renderer. My computer is running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise and I'm running the latest version of PS3 Media Server version 1.60.0 build 097765cc2 (2012-07-17). Any suggestions to get this working with my DirecTV receivers? I have an HR21-200 and 3 H25-100 boxes.

I made some progress. I navigated to C:\Program Files (x86)\PS3 Media Server\renderers and updated the default DirecTVHR.conf file to MediaInfo=false. Now, if I select ffmpeg, I get a pretty nice picture. However, I get no audio. Any suggestion on a configuration change that will get me audio?

[hakras]

Has anyone got this working? I have a post in the General forum, but have basically gotten to the same point. I set MediaInfo=False in the DirecTVHR.conf. If I select ffmpeg from the transcode folder, I get a nice picture, but no audio. Everything is working great from iPad, iPhone, and Popcorn Hour. I just need to get DirecTV working.

I searched the forum and couldn't find anything specific on this, I want to set up PMS to work with my Directv HR34(DVR) and H25 as well as PS3. I can get the files to stream to the PS3 no problem. I can browse and launch files on my HR34 and there is video but no audio. The H25 can browse the files and attempts to launch but never starts. I know from reading the the directv receivers have a very specific format they use but I can't seem to figure out the audio issue. Has anyone had success setting up PMS in this way? I have tried several audio settings with no luck. Thanks in advance.
